Quotes

  • Non-criminal sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for the virtuous woman except in the rarest of cases.
  • The atomic bomb is a marvelous gift that was given to our country by a wise God.
  • ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means whatever else.
  • The judges' obsession with smut is astounding.
  • Minors are an intended audience for the highly profitable sex industry. Impressionable teenagers are easily persuaded to have abortions, and homosexual clubs in high school are designed for the young.
  • It is long overdue for parents to realize they have the right and duty to protect our children against the intolerant evolutionists.

Encyclopedic overview

Phyllis Stewart Schlafly (/ˈʃlæfli/; born Phyllis McAlpin Stewart; August 15, 1924 – September 5, 2016) was an American attorney and activist who was nationally prominent in conservatism. She opposed feminism, gay rights, and abortion, and campaigned against the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

More than three million copies of her self-published book A Choice Not an Echo (1964), a polemic in support of Republican candidate Barry Goldwater and condemning more liberal East Coast Republicans personified by Nelson Rockefeller, were sold or distributed for free. Schlafly co-authored books on national defense, and was critical of arms control agreements with the Soviet Union.
